Pentecost in Cologne: The Hits of the African Vocals and more expected!

Köln, Deutschland - In Cologne and the surrounding area, an exciting Pentecost weekend is just around the corner. The upcoming events promise a brilliant mix of music, culture and community. The focus is particularly on the A-cappella group "African Vocals", which not only maintains with its rousing performances from Namibia, but also conveys important social messages.

on June 5, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., visitors in the Bergisch Gladbach Grancon Church can look forward to an atmospheric performance. The group, which comes from the Swakopmund townships, sees itself as an ambassador of Namibian culture. The singers, aged 20 to 35, tell about their life stories, which often revolve around topics such as poverty and disadvantage. Admission to this event is free, however, donations are welcome to help artists to cover their costs and to support social projects in their home communities. Church Cologne reports that the group will also appear in the Christuskirche in Dellbrück on June 6th-this is already its third guest performance in this church.

In the same evening, June 6, 2025, from 7:00 p.m., there is an additional concert with Persian music in the Christ Church Cologne, which is designed by talented musicians such as Nima Khoshravesh (Setar, Singing), Poolad Torkamanrad (Santur) and Katharina Hoffmann (Cello, Gheychak).

climate protection in focus

Not only is it active musically, but also when it comes to environmental protection. From June 11 to July 1, 2025, the Evangelical Church Association of Cologne will take part in the city bike, a campaign that serves to collect kilometers for climate protection. The “Church-Köln-Radelt” team invites everyone to register at www.stadtradeln.de and thus make a contribution to climate protection.

Another highlight that all music and cultural fans should not miss is the 19th Mitatabrika Festival, which takes place at the chocolate museum. This festival, organized by Mama Africa, offers a varied program with live world music, dance, theater and a colorful children's program. Artists from various parts of Africa, such as Nina Ogot from Kenya and Omar Jatta from Gambia, will enter the stage. There are also numerous workshops on the program that offer something for everyone. Mitafrika creates a space for intercultural exchange and understanding through music and dance, and the festival is supported by the city of Cologne.

This day is really offered in Cologne! It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the local cultural scene and at the same time strengthen the community. Come by, experience the impressive performances of the African Vocals and support the social projects that accompany these talented artists to Germany.
